How to Create a Book That Sells Itself - Part 1

by Carol Pierce, ?2009

Regardless of the extremely rapid changes in the publishing world, you can still be extremely successful selling hard copies of your books. To achieve that success and have your books literally sell themselves, you must:

? Know your audience - For example, you must write your book discussing romantic relationships on an entirely different level when it's designed for pre-teens and teens than one you'd write for adults.

? Provide information to your readers in an easy-to-use, easy-to-comprehend manner - Avoid using extremely long paragraphs and technical jargon. Define those technical terms and explain those acronyms when they must be used. Remember, your reader is not an expert on the topic like you are and is seeking your expertise to learn that information you know so well.

? Create a very well written, professionally designed book readers don't want to put down - A book filled with spelling errors, grammatical errors, and poor organizational structure screams "amateur" and becomes a poor reflection of your true expertise as its author. Even worse, it subconsciously distracts the reader and may keep that individual from wanting to read further, regardless of how valuable that information may be. If the front and back cover and the spine of your book are poorly designed, then your book will not cause people to want to even pick it up in the first place!

? Market that book to those who need that information in the places those people gather - Authors attending my programs on self-publishing are eager to take home my book Wanna Self-Publish on that topic so they can apply even more of what they learned in that session. However, participants in my motivational programs are not interested in a book on self-publishing; instead, they want copies of Jump Now to learn the steps that will help them gain the courage and the confidence to finally get what they really want. Who needs the information in your books? Market your book at those programs, conferences, trade shows, and even fairs and festivals they attend.

Always remember that it's not the length of your book or its individual chapters that's important. What's extremely critical is your providing information people want right now in a very professional manner that will help them solve problems they ache to have solved as quickly and as easily as possible.

Combating Abuse

by Carol Pierce ?2001

She is in an abusive relationship and is thinking about ending it. She confides that her partner has hit her. As she continues opening up to you, she keeps repeating, "But he said he is sorry. He promised he would not do that again."

You're trying to help her. What do you do?

Simply ask her, "Is his behavior getting worse or is it getting better?"

Here's the hard part . . . remain silent.

Give her time to think about it.

You may need to repeat the question again.

Ask her to look at the relationship from its beginning to the present.

Allow her to answer the question for herself so she can draw her own conclusion that his promise does not correspond with his deteriorating behavior.

Help the victim see for herself what she knows deep inside and is denying --
his behavior is becoming more abusive; he will hit her again, and the next time will be worse!

Please Note: Abuse knows no boundaries. This illustration applies whether the victim is male or female!

Wake Up Your Writing

by Carol Pierce, ?2009

Awaken your writing by using the active voice instead of the passive voice.

What does that mean? The subject in the sentence takes concrete action instead of the object being the recipient of an action. For example, "Shirley called Brian into her office" is more concise and vivid than "Brian was called into the office by Shirley."

How to Make Ends Meet

by Carol Pierce, ?2009

Have you gone from bringing in a very comfortable income to now having to figure out how to make it on a heck of a lot less money, no longer knowing where to turn?

Ask yourself these three questions:
1. What sacrifices did you have to make at a previous time in your life when you had very little money?
2. How did you live within your means then?
3. What did you do to bring in the much needed income to make ends meet at that rough period in your life?

If those strategies worked so well for you in the past, why wouldn't they work even better now? After all, look at all the wisdom, experience, and expertise you've gained over the years discovering what does work and what no longer works to bring in the income you need.

The results you now achieve and the answers you now discover will help you see what really matters in life. In turn, you'll find yourself having more true riches and more true happiness in your life than you ever imagined possible.

What are you waiting for? Jump Now! Get busy applying the answers that have been inside you all along.
